Chapter 0070 Comprehensive Overhaul, Looking to Rent a Horse
"That's all for this live stream. I also have some good news to share: my grazing permits will be processed soon, and then you can come with me to visit the natural grasslands."
Gu Tong then ended the broadcast and went to wash her hands and change her clothes.
After finishing his meal and opening the control panel, he was suddenly startled by the number of new followers.
[Influence expands, Shennong value +50]
Shennong Value: 334 points
......
The number of new followers increased by 5000, bringing the total number of followers to 16786.
Gu Tong never expected that a live stream about repairing agricultural machinery would have such an effect; it seems that the content of the live stream needs to be changed frequently.
"I don't know what Li Yong and his gang were thinking. Did they think that by blocking my parts, I wouldn't be able to do anything about it? Stupid!"
With logistics so advanced now, Li Yong's methods are ineffective and seem more like a desperate outburst of anger.
Gu Tong doesn't yet have the strength to shake Honghe's dominant position in the area, but it won't be easy for them to completely suppress him either.
"The skill 'Repair' is very important. If you encounter more complex problems during repairs in the future, the proficient level will definitely not be enough. It would be better to continue to improve it to the master level."
He considered it for a moment, then spent 30 Shennong points to upgrade his [Repair] skill from Proficient to Master.
His personal information changed accordingly.
[Host: Gu Tong]
[Realm: Beginner Shennong (0/1000)]
Skill Tree: 9 skills (1 at Mastery level, 8 at Proficiency level)
[Shennong Pavilion: Unlocked]
Shennong Value: 304 points
[Task: None]
......
With a wealth of repair experience and knowledge flowing into his mind, Gu Tong even had the illusion that he could repair anything in the world.
Proficiency level skills can no longer be achieved through "practice makes perfect". For example, when he sees an agricultural machine, he can immediately understand its design and structure, knowing not only what it is, but also why it is.
Therefore, upgrading a skill from proficient to master is a qualitative leap, and the benefits it brings are also enormous.
"In the short term, improving skills is the most cost-effective approach, but in the long run, passing on knowledge and skills is the key."
Gu Tong understood, and then took a few parts to Dong Jun's place.
"Brother Gu, your repair skills are getting more and more exquisite! Scholars really do have sharp minds. No matter how much I study, I can never reach your level."
Watching Gu Tong disassemble, maintain, and replace parts in an orderly manner, Dong Jun couldn't help but admire her.
He couldn't even fix minor problems with some farm machinery, let alone replace parts. Compared to the other person, he felt very stupid, which was probably the fundamental reason why the other person was able to get into university.
"Brother Dong, don't say that. Everyone has their strengths. Haven't you managed your household and work affairs very well all these years?"
Gu Tong kept working and responded with a smile.
He didn't start a live stream; he only filmed some video footage, which didn't interrupt their conversation.
By 5 p.m., Dong Jun had finished repairing all his farm machinery. He tested the machine and, finding no problems, put his tools back in the box.
To be honest, Dong Jun's agricultural machinery is in far worse condition than his own, since most of it is second-hand.
Fortunately, he upgraded his [Repair] skill before he came, otherwise he might not have been able to handle it.
"Xiao Gu, wash your face, I'll go cook now."
The two went inside, and Li Yuxiu brought over a basin of hot water before going into the kitchen.
Dinner was plentiful, and Gu Tong ate and drank her fill before returning home.
Over the next two days, Gu Tong helped Aikebai and Ma Dongwen repair the worn-out farm machinery and perform maintenance.
There's currently a lull in agricultural machinery services, and Lin Hao's big order hasn't come in yet, giving him a rare period of leisure.
Every day, I feed the sheep and clean the sheepfold, water the vegetable garden and small garden from time to time, and plant grapes under the grape trellis.
The rapeseed and alfalfa in the field are growing well, especially the alfalfa, which has grown taller and its roots have penetrated a meter into the ground, firmly occupying the field and making it impossible for other plants to survive.
Everything is moving in a positive direction.
That morning.
Gu Tong had just finished cleaning the sheep pen when he saw Liang Qin walk in with two men who looked like officials.
"Gu Tong, after receiving your real-name report, we conducted a detailed investigation. Regarding the difficulties you encountered when purchasing agricultural machinery parts, the merchant admitted that they were unwilling to do business with you because of the low profit margin, but denied that they were instructed by someone else."
The relevant departments in the county held two talks with the person in charge of Honghe Agricultural Machinery Service Cooperative, demanding that they cease all unfair competition practices and that any such cases be investigated and dealt with severely without leniency.
Regarding your report of irregularities by Zhao Zhigang, director of the Agricultural Machinery Office, we have verified the matter and found most of the allegations to be unsubstantiated. However, he did indeed exhibit issues such as shirking his duties and having relatives hold positions in affiliated companies. The county has already severely criticized him.
Gu Tong invited the three of them into the house and sat them down. Liang Qin then introduced the identities of the other two people.
They came today on behalf of relevant departments to talk to Gu Tong, which clearly shows that they attach great importance to Gu Tong's real-name report.
Gu Tong's previous report was merely a way to vent his anger, and he didn't expect any results, since he had no evidence to back it up. However, the county's investigation and handling of the matter were very thorough and meticulous, which surprised him.
This shows that the county is also dissatisfied with Honghe Agricultural Machinery Service Cooperative and is once again using this opportunity to put pressure on them.
Another unexpected bonus was that the county authorities discovered that Zhao Zhigang's brother-in-law worked at Honghe, and some of Zhao Zhigang's past misdeeds were also brought to light.
Gu Tong said a few words of thanks, and felt much better.
After the conversation, the two county officials walked out of the courtyard first. Liang Qin lagged a few steps behind and whispered to Gu Tong:
"If something like this happens again, talk to me first. Don't just report it with your real name all the time. No matter what you do, you have to protect yourself first."
"Okay, I've got it."
Gu Tong responded with a smile, and then saw the other person out.
After watching Liang Qin and the others leave by car, he turned around and went back into the house.
In the afternoon, Dong Jun brought over the grazing permit and said:
"Brother Gu, you can graze your sheep on the village's public pasture. However, that's a grassland-livestock balance zone, and you must strictly adhere to the approved flock size. Exceeding even one sheep will result in a penalty."
Gu Tong was stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected that the management of grazing would be so strict now.
Of course, since there are clear requirements, he will definitely abide by them.
"Okay, I'll keep that in mind. By the way, I'm thinking of going herding livestock recently, do you know where I can rent horses?"
He wanted to surprise his fans, so he planned to ride a horse to herd livestock.
But he didn't have a horse, so he thought he'd rent one temporarily and also unlock the [Riding Skill] skill.
"Rent a horse? I'm not sure about that. Why don't you ask the old village chief yourself?"
Dong Jun doesn't raise livestock. Even if his family raises a few sheep in some years, it's only for their own meat consumption.
Therefore, he had no need for grazing, and naturally no need for horses.
After Dong Jun left, Gu Tong called Elias and said that he wanted to rent a horse for the fall and asked if he could help introduce someone.
